Of 1,050 randomly selected adults, 360 identified themselves as manual laborers, 280 identified themselves as non-manual wage ea

rners, 250 identified themselves as mid-level managers, and 160 identified themselves as executives. In the survey, 82% of manual laborers preferred trucks, 62% of non-manual wage earners preferred trucks, 54% of mid-level managers preferred trucks, and 26% of executives preferred trucks.
Construct a 95% confience interval for the percentage of executives that preferred trucks. ( I know for sure that the answer is +or- 6.82%, but I need to know how to get this.)

Answer:

We can claim with 95% confidence that the proportion of executives that prefer trucks is between 19.2% and 32.8%.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have a sample of executives, of size n=160, and the proportion that prefer trucks is 26%.

We have to calculate a 95% confidence interval for the proportion.

The sample proportion is p=0.26.

 

The standard error of the proportion is:

\sigma_p=\sqrt{\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n}}=\sqrt{\dfrac{0.26*0.74}{160}}\\\\\\ \sigma_p=\sqrt{0.0012}=0.0347

The critical z-value for a 95% confidence interval is z=1.96.

The margin of error (MOE) can be calculated as:

MOE=z\cdot \sigma_p=1.96 \cdot 0.0347=0.068

Then, the lower and upper bounds of the confidence interval are:

LL=p-z \cdot \sigma_p = 0.26-0.068=0.192\\\\UL=p+z \cdot \sigma_p = 0.26+0.068=0.328

The 95% confidence interval for the population proportion is (0.192, 0.328).

We can claim with 95% confidence that the proportion of executives that prefer trucks is between 19.2% and 32.8%.

Find the area of a plane figure bounded by lines
natulia [17]

Answer: 4.5

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

First, find the points of intersection by solving the system.

y = x² + 2x + 4

y = x + 6

Solve by substitution:

x² + 2x + 4 = x + 6   ⇒   x² + x - 2 = 0   ⇒   (x + 2)(x - 1) = 0   ⇒   x = -2, x = 1

Now, integrate from x = -2 to x = 1

\int\limits^1_2 {(x+6)-(x^{2}+2x+4) } \,    <em>the bottom of the integral is -2 </em>

= \int\limits^1_2 {x+6-x^{2}-2x-4 } \,

= \int\limits^1_2 {-x^{2}-x+2 } \,  

= \frac{-x^{3}}{3} - \frac{x^{2}}{2}+2x\int\limits^1_2 {} \,

= (\frac{-1^{3}}{3} - \frac{1^{2}}{2}+2(1)) - (\frac{-(-2)^{3}}{3} - \frac{(-2)^{2}}{2}+2(-2))

= (\frac{-1}{3} - \frac{1}{2} +2) - (\frac{8}{3} -\frac{4}{2} -4)

= \frac{-9}{3} + \frac{3}{2} +6

= -3 + 1.5 + 6

= 4.5
